Sergei Esenin (Yesenin)
(4 Oct. 1895 - 27 Dec. 1925)

List of poems

The grove of golden trees has fallen silent,
Shorn of its gay leaves, in mute silhouette,
And so the cranes in sad file past it flying
Have no cause any more to feel regret.

For whom, for what? We are all rovers, starting
Out, coming home awhile, then traveling on.
The hemp field's dreaming of all who departed
And there's a full moon gazing at the pond.

I stand alone, the bare expanses viewing,
While on the wind the cranes are borne away.
Remembrance of my merry youth pursuing,
I find nothing I would relive today.

I don't regret the years that I have wasted,
I don't regret the lilac time of life.
A rowan fire is in the orchard blazing
But none shall from its brightness warmth derive.

Red rowan-berry clusters cannot scorch you,
The grasses will no yellow and decline.
As leaves fall softly from a tree in autumn
So I let fall these mournful words of mine.

And if time with its breezy broom should pile them
Into a heap to burn without regret…
Just say this … that the golden grove fell silent,
Shorn of its leaves, in pensive silhouette.

Отговорила роща золотая
Березовым, веселым языком,
И журавли, печально пролетая,
Уж не жалеют больше ни о ком.

Кого жалеть? Ведь каждый в мире странник -
Пройдет, зайдет и вновь оставит дом.
О всех ушедших грезит коноплянник
С широким месяцем над голубым прудом.

Стою один среди равнины голой,
А журавлей относит ветер в даль,
Я полон дум о юности веселой,
Но ничего в прошедшем мне не жаль.

Не жаль мне лет, растраченных напрасно,
Не жаль души сиреневую цветь.
В саду горит костер рябины красной,
Но никого не может он согреть.

Не обгорят рябиновые кисти,
От желтизны не пропадет трава,
Как дерево роняет тихо листья,
Так я роняю грустные слова.

И если время, ветром разметая,
Сгребет их все в один ненужный ком…
Скажите так… что роща золотая
Отговорила милым языком.

1924
